Natasha Braunwart, Brand & Corporate Social Responsibility Manager at Columbia Gem House, carries a fresh perspective on responsible sourcing. Previously from the outdoor industry, Natasha brings more than eight years’ experience in community development, global events supervision, non-profit partnership management and direct-to-consumer strategy and engagement.

While Natasha has recently planted herself in the gem world, she is no stranger to the concept of responsible sourcing. Natasha is also the second daughter of CGH Founder & President Eric Braunwart, which has undoubtedly shaped her work and perspective of how for-profit brands can strategically operate in a way that has a positive impact.
